Chapter 361: 5. The first cry of the giant (18)

What is the best way to carry out forced demolition?
Several large-caliber shells can instantly destroy a building, and dispatching a team of engineers to gouge the hole can also be completed. But the ability to turn a city into a flat ground overnight requires the most primitive chemical energy, fire.
The times are constantly advancing, and the proportion of stone materials in the building is also getting higher and higher. Ordinary houses are still mostly brick-wood mixed structures. The continuous burning with viscous napalm bombs can also make the structure of the house collapse.
In this case, it should be a good idea to give up full-bodied incendiary bombs and to abandon high-altitude precision bombing instead of low-altitude bombing at night. When carrying out high-altitude precision bombing, these bombers have less than one-half of the maximum bomb capacity. Low-level bombing does not have this problem. At the same time, as long as the action is fast enough, quickly enter and exit Castile airspace before the enemy reacts, it can completely avoid being intercepted.
Immediately when I thought about it, under the urging of the great indiscriminate crit pioneers, all the self-defense weapons of all bombers except the tail machine guns were removed, and the troops began to practice loading low-altitude aircraft to carry out follow-up bombing.
The pilots were greatly surprised by this, and what made their eyes fall out was that they actually approved the crazy gambling-like combat plan. 125 baby lump bombers were modified, and after the cluster incendiary bombs dedicated to arson were in place, they crossed 7,000 kilometers of ocean surface and finally flew to the sky of Castile.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, while the navy attacked Cadiz. Li Mei, commander and pilot who sat in town personally, arrived above the target and quickly determined and used radio navigation devices and searchlights to indicate the aiming point of the assault formation. Then, one bomber after another entered the target area at low altitude from 1500 to 2800 meters at different altitudes, and opened the magazine to throw bombs as during training.
Tons of incendiary bombs leaned on Guernica’s head, and the black cylinder that screamed and fell opened at a height of 30 meters from the ground. The built-in rod-shaped napalm bomb burned and flew to the ground like a festival blooming. Fireworks, but at this moment this beautiful scenery means only one thing to the Guernica-death.
Brick-and-wood houses were ignited one after another, but the monsoon blowing from the Western Ocean also came to Guernica at this time. Level 6~7 winds swept through burning roofs, beams, paper pieces and other flammable materials, and more houses were ignited. A large area of ​​fire quickly formed in the urban area, and there was a sea of ​​fire everywhere.
The awakened people rushed to the street in their sheets or naked. Looking around, there was a blaze. And the terrifying monster above his head is pouring more flames and disasters. The panicked residents screamed and ran away. The men carried the women, the adults carried the elderly, and the parents dragged or cradled the children to the areas that were not affected by the flames. Many people's hair and clothes are burning.
At this time, the surface temperature in the fire area is almost close. Trees, houses, and even the human body began to ignite spontaneously. The metal melted like ice on the stove. The rapidly expanding flames continuously sucked in oxygen, forming a fierce flame storm, witnessing three or four rise in the air. As if going to the fire dragon at the end of the night, the bomber crew were stunned. A navigator clearly saw that in an empty field in front of a warehouse for storing food and cloth, thousands of residents who had taken refuge together with the roof of the warehouse and the stored cloth and food sucked by the sudden storm. Once inside, it instantly became a human fuel for combustion and disappeared into the fire dragon.
Li Mei, who was almost out of the seat, grasped the armrest tightly. The airflow from the fire caused the bomber to bump up and down. The captain must use his full strength to hold the joystick. The bomber stared at the sight. Through the optical sight, he Clearly see people pouring into churches and public hospitals away from fire.
"Enter the second stage."
There was no icy cold sound behind him, and he pulled the projectile bar hard, and more incendiary bombs fell to the ground, and death fireworks appeared again over the Guernica.
The target of this bombing was refuges such as churches and hospitals. Except for a small number of people who jumped into the river ditch, most of the residents who were driven by the fire were concentrated there, just hitting the net.
A new wave of incendiary bombs was dropped in less than a moment, like a typhoon, a hurricane of flames as fast as 2, 30 meters per second came over the sky, and the hospital burned down in only 3 minutes. Flames dozens of meters high crossed the temporary fire ditch dug in front of the church and rushed into the church like a flood sprinting at full speed. The marble floor was burned to lime in a moment, and the magnificent church copper spires emerged with blue-green flames, and the victims who evaded here-they were not even burned to death, but melted into an indistinguishable thing like candles. .
The scene near the ditch outside the city is equally terrible. Many people think that water can avoid fire and jump into rivers or wells to avoid disasters. However, under the high temperature, the rivers and wells have also boiled, and these victims were boiled alive.
Guernica can no longer be called a city. The sad and sad scene is like a witch's boiling pot. From the boiling pot, the smell of barbecue and the smell of cooking meat are mixed together, and it is lifted up to the sky by the heat. Sitting in the pressurized cabin seemed to smell the disgusting smell. The crew members felt like a worm was crawling in their stomachs, crawling nonstop. Some pilots can hear some sounds vaguely in their ears. It seems to be the grief, anger, swearing, cursing of countless tragic deaths in the Shura below.
Li Mei was quietly cutting a self-heating steak. It was incredible. The lieutenant general who had not eaten all the way through the flight felt hungry. Perhaps it was the reason that he was satisfied with both the combat process and the results. Now he relaxes and the basic physical needs immediately protest.
The bombing comparable to the massacre has no specific results yet, but the visual projection of 1365 tons of bombs, the burn rate reached at least 96%, and the casualties were around tens of thousands. The battle loss rate of the Defense Force is 0, and only 13 bombers were forced to return due to mechanical failure.
From a military perspective, this is a successful textbook-style strategic night bombing, but Li Mei has some small regrets.
not enough--
Chewing the strips of meat, the subtle wailing wailing is like a symphony of war. A voice hissed in the general's heart.
More bombers, more incendiary bombs, high-explosive bombs, gas bombs. Go deeper into enemy territory, bomb industrial centers, granary strips, transportation hubs, and prove that a country can be destroyed by endless air strikes...
Also-more victories, more war...
Although there were so many ideas, the lieutenant general did not forget that he was still in the airspace of the enemy country.
Swallowing the meat piece, to the table below, Lieutenant General Li Mei ordered: "The mission is successfully completed, return to the flight. We return to Gabro."
A blue sphere of light was raised in the air, confirming the signal of [Return], the bomber formation made an arc in the air, and the flying wing demons walked quietly as they had come.
After 2 hours, the finally arrived belated Knights of Monjuye (ye) finally arrived at Guernica~EbookFREE.me~The knights riding the Griffon looked down from the sky to the burning city. A dumb chicken, without a word. Earl Roderick (k), the head of the Knights who were crying without tears, described the scene he saw in a sentence to the rear commander who was eager to ask about the situation.
"Guernica is in flames!"
It was General José Mijaha who commanded the garrison nearby. After hearing that the city had become a huge incineration plant, the grumpy old general shouted angrily: "Until the end of this war, Charlemagne You can hear it only in hell!!!" (Unfinished to be continued...)
ps: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: No one participated in the last issue. I really regret it. I hope you can actively participate in the prize quiz!
Niederhogger: Today’s question 1. What are the two incidents that bombed Guernica’s prototype? (Hint: 1. Picasso’s masterpiece, on March 10, 2.1945, 100,000 beasts were grilled to die.) Question 2. "Until the end of this war, Charlemagne can only be heard in hell!"- What is the prototype of this story? (Reminder: After the 11th attack on Pearl Harbor, the famous navy of the Midi navy general nicknamed "The Bull") Come on, everyone, take action!
